Default F1 Cam From Speedtek Performance

Has anyone else heard bout this cam? It looks like a hoped up TR230. Someone on LS1.com put down over 400hp on stock heads and all the bolt ons, sounds nice but is anybody else running this cam? Or is this (Hype) one of those Shop freak dynos runs to sell the cam? I quote this,
"what about the F1 cam from speedtek performance. here's the spec 230/226 591/569 112lsa

car dynoed 406hp/391tq with stock heads and no belt tricks. idles great and it is my daily driver. check on it."

I like the better torque curve over the TR230.

I ran one for awhile - it did 394 untuned with bolt ons. Another local guy LOnSLO ran that cam with a set of TEA heads and made 449 rwhp through a ford 9'' with 4.30 gears. The cam is a very nice setup and used to be one of the biggest you could buy. Drives great and puts down nice power.

I'm running one in my car. I haven't dynoed it, but it has run a 7.2@95, weighs around 3500#'s. When the weather cools off here in TX, it should run some 7.15's.

This winter, I'm gonna be selling mine, so if you are interested, let me know.

So does this cam offer a better torque over the TR230? Thats really my main question. Which one peaks sooner?
